Opportunities come from decisive inspirational stories.

Opportunities come from inspirational stories of determination

We need to have keen determination. Decision-making ability is essential. If a person can have the ability to see things and put them into practice, he is like a ruler with natural talent. Often when ordinary people are still sighing for missing the opportunity, these people have already taken advantage of the wind and done something important early.

Decisiveness is extremely important for everyone who wants to start a business, which has repeatedly appeared in those who have made extraordinary careers.

William Phipps, a shepherd boy from Maine, USA, just finished learning his craft from a shipbuilding carpenter and was wandering the streets of Boston one day. He overheard several sailors talking about a Spanish ship that sank in the sea off the Bahamas. According to the sailors, the ship carried a lot of money. The boy made up his mind to find the sunken ship and immediately began to take action. After going through thousands of dangers, he finally succeeded in finding the lost treasure.

The sailors are just talking in the air, but the young man is doing it. This shows that he is a man with decision-making ability. There is a strong trait in him, with the kind of insight that ordinary people lack. He can find good things when others can't see anything; Be able to seize the opportunity quickly and resolutely when it comes.

Think of what a famous person said: "What is an opportunity for a person who can't take advantage of it?" Those who have made outstanding achievements are those who can find opportunities and seize them in time.

The experience of a photographer named James Reid in Cleveland, Ohio, USA can also illustrate this point. One day, he accidentally read a message from a German newspaper, saying that Bohemian artists had discovered a new process, that is, using an advanced instrument to polish the negative, so as to remove the defects in their works. James immediately went to Bohemia and hired an artist, and quickly introduced this new skill into his photography industry, thus achieving great success. He seized this opportunity at the first time and made the most of it. He immediately advertised his new photography technology and expanded his business. At a photo exhibition held in Boston, he won one of the most famous photography awards in America.

Thomas Cook's story is also a good footnote about decision-making power. At that time, Thomas Cook had to walk 15 miles in order to attend an abstinence meeting in Leicester. Just as he was walking on the road, he suddenly had a brainwave and thought that he could easily persuade the railway company to open a special train for these participants. As a result, he started a short-distance railway passenger service. Later, Thomas Cook became the boss of a big company in the United States, and this company originated from the whimsy of Thomas walking the 15-mile road alone. Many people have walked the same 15-mile road, and some others may have thought of it, but Thomas Cook is different from them in that he put it into practice.

In the earliest cotton spinning industry, some small fibers were always stuck on the bobbin, and people had to stop the machine to remove them frequently, which wasted a lot of time and caused great losses to producers. Mr. Robert Peel noticed that Dick, one of his textile workers, always operated at full load and never stopped.

Mr. Peel once asked Dick, "The supervisor told me that your spool is always clean. How do you do this?"

"they are like that." Dick replied.

"Dick, how did you make them do it?"

"Haha, Mr. Peel, it's a secret. If I tell you, won't you become as smart as me?"

Pierre smiled and replied, "That's true, but if you tell me, I will give you some rewards. Can you make all my looms the same as yours? "

"Boss, I can make every machine like mine never stop." Dick answered.

"ok, what should I give you as a reward?"

"Give me a glass of beer every day and I'll tell you the secret."

"ok!" Pierre agreed. Dick leaned over his ear and whispered, "Put chalk on your spool!" " This is the content of this big secret. Later, Mr. Pierre walked in front of all his competitors. He made a batch of machines to put chalk powder on his own machine spool. Dick was also rewarded with a sum of money, although it was not beer. Dick's little idea saved millions of dollars for the world. However, if it weren't for Mr. Peel's intuition and decision-making ability, people might not know this method for a long time.

In 186, John Knight of Guatemala City was only a slave in Alabama. After being free, he became a docker, responsible for shipping fruits from Central America for a company. At work, he began to consider the possibility of going it alone as a fruit grower. He put the idea into practice when the dockers who worked with him dared not think about it. He bought 5, mu of land from the Guatemalan government and reached an agreement with fruit merchants in New Orleans, who imported 2 million Guatemalan fruits every year. Since then, he has become a coffee grower and fruit wholesaler. Later, he became one of the richest and most powerful people in Central America.

Similarly, when ichabod Watson was apprenticed to a blacksmith in Worcester, Massachusetts, he was just a shy boy. He found that there were no well-made metal wires in the United States, but the situation in Britain was not much better, where a handicraft workshop monopolized the manufacture of all metal wires for pianos in the country. At that time, he made up his mind silently to make the best metal wire in the world and produce it on a large scale. The shy boy opened his eyes wide for opportunities. He finally got the chance. Soon, his metal wire standards began to be adopted by various places, and his business scale continued to expand. He hired 7 people to work for himself and produced 12 tons of metal wire every day. Ichabod gradually stepped into the ranks of American strongmen by his keen judgment.

young people should have several important qualities in order to seize opportunities. It is not enough for a person to have good qualities such as accuracy, comprehensiveness and diligence. In order to achieve business success, intuition is also indispensable. Only with intuition can you make quick judgments and actions when opportunities come.

besides intuition, we also need to have keen decision-making ability. Decision-making ability is essential. If a person can have the ability to see things and put them into practice, he is like a ruler with natural talent. Often when ordinary people are still sighing for missing the opportunity, these people have already taken advantage of the wind and done something important early.

Charles Goode, who used to be a collector, is a shrewd businessman, but he is not rich. Once, he bought a patent for an automatic coupler from a person for $5. The inventor of the automobile automatic coupler insisted that if this invention is put into the market, as an inventor, he must hold an important position in Charles' factory. Mr. Goode knows that the government patent office has issued patents for 7 different types of automobile automatic couplers. But his intuition told him that the automatic coupler in his hand was completely different from any one on the market, and he knew that he had got a priceless treasure. Nothing can limit the application prospect of his invention except the expansion of the railway industry. More importantly, Mr. Goode has extraordinary determination. He is the kind of person who will try his best to make use of the opportunity once he gets it. He paid the inventor without hesitation and signed a written guarantee to ensure that he could get a position in his own factory. Later, Mr. Goode achieved great success by using this auto coupler.

A similar example is the story of New York Governor Kornel. Kornel's greatest success is that he founded the National Regional Communication Organization, which has earned him nearly 5, US dollars, and later everyone who accepted this organization also earned a lot of money. He bought this invention for 2 dollars from a man who was not very rich. If Mr. Kornel ignores this invention like others, the inventor will be discouraged and may give up his efforts to make this invention public. It can be said that others didn't see such an opportunity, and they didn't have the decision-making ability like Kornel.

So it can be said that intuition and action, keen and original vision, abundant experience and sensitive hands are the qualities that every successful person should possess. ;
